Benedictine D.O.M. Liqueur (750ml)

The original French herbal liqueur from Fecamp, Normandy, distilled since 1863 from a recipe of twenty-seven plants and spices on a neutral beet-root alcohol base. No wine, no brandy, no grape derivatives: the classic Chassidic farbrengen liqueur, often called the Rebbe's drink.

Mood: Honey, hyssop, hush.

Tasting notes

Aromas of honey, dried citrus peel, juniper, and warm baking spice. The palate is rich and lightly viscous: saffron, vanilla, angelica root, a thread of dark honey. Finish is long, herbal, and gently warming with a bittersweet close.

Food pairing

Best after the meal, alongside dark chocolate, a slice of honey cake, or simply on its own. Mixes cleanly into hot tea, a Singapore Sling, or a brandy-free B&B alternative.
